Abstract
Methods are provided for marking and merging individual report elements, patterns, or defects resulting from analysis based on common characteristics within a report or across reports resulting from different analysis runs. Methods are also provided for migrating a set of report elements, patterns, or defects resulting from one version of an analysis tool to one consistent with a new version of the analysis tool while preserving as much information as possible from the older set.
